SD Worx-Protime will target stage victories at the Tour de France Femmes with Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes, while Anna van der Breggen takes aim at top-five in the GC, in what the Dutch team considers an uncontrollable and testing race.

SD Worx once dominated women's racing but opted not to replace Demi Vollering when she left for FDJ United-Suez and have seen other teams improve significantly in the last two seasons, especially at the mountainous Tour de France Femmes. This year's race route includes a stage 7 finish at the summit of Mount Ventoux, a hilly final stage around Nice and a 21km time trial.
